Hey guys I am a new affiliate marketer. I need advice on direct linking to links from cj. For example, I do not want to create a landing page as they already have a great landing page. So can I directly link the cj affiliate code to the yahoo ppc campaign. I am so lost about this. thanks

You might want to consider doing a page redirect for this, a simple page with a url that will redirect the user to the affiliate page so you won't have to include your affiliate url in your campaigns.
 
There are lots of ways to do a re-direct.

Through JavaScript
Code:
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.location = "http://www.google.com/"
//-->
</script>
Through Meta
Code:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://webdesign.about.com">
Or you could do one through your .htaccess

(Redirects To A New Page)

Code:
Redirect 301 /oldpage.html http://www.example.com/newpage.html

I should mention for your use since you don't seem to know much about re-direction the easy way would be the meta redirect.
 
I use this one, works out really well.

Code:
<?PHP
// This script is to be used with the Affiliate Jump Tutorial at www.stevedawson.com/articles.php
/************************************************************************/
/* PHP Affiliate Jump Script                                             */

/*                                                                      */

/************************************************************************/
/*
Save this page as jump.php and when linking to this script use the following:
    <a href="jump.php?m=XXXXXX">XXXXXX</a> 
Where XXXXXX is your merchant. 
*/
$m = $_GET['m'];
if ($m == "") {$link = "http://www.stevedawson.com/mobiles/";} // Default Blank
if ($m == "bodybuilding.com") {$link = "http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-2375575-10409410";}
if ($m == "UKPhoneShop") {$link = "http://tracker.tradedoubler.com/click?p=985&a=949731&g=5119";}

/*
To add more jump links, just copy and paste one of
the lines above and modify the $m and $link values
*/

header("Location: $link"); // Jump to the hiddden affiliate URL above
exit();
?>
 
The one in my sig is a basic php redirect going to the same product you plan on promoting. (You having probs with it sometimes showing $50, sometimes $25 too?)
